This week our Frockstar heart goes to:
Twisted Dolly!
And every so often, the combination of a team's creative talent absolutely nails the concept, and the result is stunning. Whether intended or not, when a shoot evokes something in the viewer, when it triggers a thought, a feeling or an emotion, whether it's fleeting or more profound, it embodies the wordless importance and beauty of art in all of its dimensions.
Already a massive fan of the exquisitely talented Irish Fashion Designer Claire Garvey, we're always excited to see what she creates next. At a first look, we mused over the possibility that she had started making clothes for dolls, and further mused about how on this bloody earth she incorporated such beautiful and proportionate detail on such tiny dresses. We must emphasise that this thought process was short (mainly so we don't sound stoopid).
On closer inspection we could see that they were in fact human, with a wide-eyed doll edit in places, and grew even more fascinated.
The intricate detail and style of the dresses and the lines of the shot fill your visual field and pull you into a trance. The image of perfection in the fairy-tale hair, the dream-like dresses, the colours, the faces and the flawless make-up in some shots are contrasted then by two slightly darker and more sinister images. What struck us was a visual portrayal of an internal struggle perhaps between the outward appearance of perfection and love, and the inward build up of rage and frustration against such limits and expectations. A beautiful depiction of reality through life imitating art imitating life. Yeh you heard.
